I managed to break the lugs off the magnet when refitting the front wheel of my 2002 Freewind in the dark. :spanking:
It is currently bodged up by using JB Weld to form the lugs that engage with the dogs on the wheel, which got me a WOF. But I do not expect this "fix" to last very long.
Suzuki don't sell the magnet separately for the Freewind, just the whole speedo assembly for $375. Stone me.
Having researched it, it looks like the part for the SV650 and VL800's would probably work, but I am not keen to shell out for one and find it won't fit. The part number I am looking at is 34983-21E00 but no dealers I spoke to have one in stock that I can compare it with. That one has 4 lugs instead of two, but there is space for 4 lugs in the assembly.
Bit of a stretch, but if anyone has a spare knocking around (or is willing to have a look next time the front wheel is off) could you let me know and maybe we can sort out taking some measurements? I have put together a very rough drawing based on measurements taken with a ruler, and it's not to scale so it is really an abomination... but I am hoping you get the idea!

Grateful for any help with this, or alternative ideas for a cost-effective solution. BTW, I'd like the speedo and trip-meter to work, so while a bike computer is an option, I'd rather get it fixed if I can.
